[QUOTE="OhDannyBoy, post: 739631, member: 72517"] Heineken, I am not being overly critical of Matfield....simply honest. It's a no-brainer he should go the RWC, due to his steadying influence. The lineouts have gone better with him on the field. But I will stand by my contention: Matfield is a [B]relative[/B] passenger, compared to Lood, in all other facets of play. Lood had basically Man-of-the-Match performances in the games he played this year. Matfield gets owned in contact these days, whether on attack or defence. Of course he's a valuable addition to the overall squad, but barring the lineouts, he is simply not the best overall lock in SA in that position. Looking through many rugby websites, I'm certainly in the majority with that view. Having said that, I think (or hope) he does well at the RWC. Other than that, we seem to be broadly in agreement. My big, big concern at the moment is scrumhalf. Most of the other pieces in the backline are either in place, or shaping up to be....but scrumhalf is a headache. [/QUOTE]
